GreenVET’s aim is to bridge the knowledge gap among Installation Maintenance and Repair (IMR) companies and their employees regarding green and sustainability skills necessary for transitioning to a green economy.
GreenVET promotes innovation within the vocational VET sector by utilizing cutting-edge technology and gamification techniques to develop an engaging training program supporting the transition of IMR companies towards sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. The development of work-based skills in green through apprenticeships is itself an innovative approach within the VET.
